Integrated Ecosystem Model (AIEM) for Alaska

Project Summary

Scenarios Network for Alaska and Arctic Planning, University of Alaska

Description

For this large and multi-year effort, a multi-disciplinary team of university based modelers will develop a modeling framework that integrates the driving components of vegetation succession, disturbance, hydrology and permafrost dynamics for the state of Alaska. This framework will couple models of disturbance and vegetation succession (ALFRESCO), biogeochemistry (TEM), and permafrost (GIPL).
